Things have been real slow lately in general. This Sunday night I caught one of those horrid 24-hour stomach bugs that absolutely lays you out. I started feeling kind of ill on Saturday, on account of helping my mom's fiance dis-assemble his basement woodshop and the large amount of sawdust I inhaled/swallowed. Then on Sunday there was more sawdust, and dinner at my dads. I've settled on the steamed potatoes and hot dogs with vinegar as the ultimate culprit. It was probably the second serving that put me over the edge.

When I got home Sunday night I 'got sick' in a horrific manner, and passed out. I was 'sick' again early Monday morning, and had to go to work at 8. That was a fun day. My back hurt so much I couldn't sit down (on account of the throwing up and clenching muscles and the like). So yeah, got home from work and laid around on the floor, then in bed.

Gwen came home with all sorts of holistic healing things. Like chicken soup, orange juice, ginger ale, and a heating pad. And Aleve. It was pretty great, and by midnight I felt like fantastic. Or at least well enough to take out the trash and wake Gwen from the couch to go to bed.

I'll be heading to Rhode Island on May 6 (that's a Sunday), and starting work on the 7th. Something different than I've done in the past, as this year I'll have more of a time-regulated job, and I can come home to Philly on the weekends if I want to on occasion (and I do).

I'm only taking one uniform, and I don't plan on wearing it ever. I do need to get some work boots though, as leather bowling shoes really won't cut it this summer.

That possibly is the best picture of Gwen I've ever seen. Scott also has the nightly ritual of waking me from the couch so I can go to bed. Seeing as I'm fairly incoherent and on occassion get angry when I'm woken one, I don't really know if it's one of those things he treasures doing.
